I believe that the conservative element of the party in power has been successfully crippled.

There is no longer any interest in constitutional government, reduced spending, elimination of waste, and respect for personal liberty and property.

Instead the gop has become the Al Davis party - "Just win baby!"

The corrupt war on drugs, the extra-constitutional "laws" and regulations as contained in the "patriot act" and other legislation, the unbelievable money pit that is being passed off as "rebuilding" iraq, and the 800 pound gorilla in the corner - a wide open, look the other way administration policy toward our borders, ports, and natural resources prove to me (if to no one else) that the elected elite are willing to sell out Americans for the opportunity to enrich themselves and remain in power.

In the R vs. D game, the American citizens lose.

There is no longer any difference between them. We have one party now. The Establishment Party, divided into two camps...Christian and Secular.

The American citizens voted for R's and D's in the last presidential election to the tune of about 99%.
